He also found space at the back post five minutes before halftime, and hammered a left-foot volley that goalkeeper Felipe Ovono deflected onto the same upright.Between those two near-misses, big striker Aristide Bance — recalled to the starting lineup — powered a rising shot from a set move at a free kick that Ovono punched away with both hands.We had chances, but the same problem, finishing, said Burkina Faso coach Paul Put, whose team also created but missed a string of opportunities in a 2-0 loss to Gabon. Unfortunately, we cannot score and thats the problem.Emilio Nsues blocked drive just before halftime was the best opening for the home team in the first 45.But Equatorial Guinea improved in the second half.In the 58th, Balboa went on a weaving run and slid a pass through for Ellong Doualla, who shot wide when clear on goal on the right side of the area.

"Its a tough place to play, and weve lost however many in a row there, and theyre going to be fighting for their lives. All those factors altogether is not going to make it an easy game for us," said Spurs forward Tim Duncan. "But we feel we play the right way." The Spurs moved within a game of a repeat appearance against the Miami Heat in the NBA Finals thanks to a 117-89 blowout in Thursdays Game 5. The Heat prevailed last year, but San Antonio owns four titles since Duncan and head coach Gregg Popovich united in Alamo City. For the Thunder, this is the third time this postseason theyll face an elimination game. Since theyre playing on Saturday, their success thus far has been unquestioned.

Serge Ibaka was limited to six points and just two rebounds in the loss. The Spurs tweaked their starting lineup for Game 6, inserting sharpshooter Matt Bonner in place of Tiago Splitter, a traditional center. Bonner was not a factor, but the rest of the Spurs usual reserves were instrumental in the strong start. "It worked for a while," Popovich said. "Im not too interested in talking to you about specifics about why things worked or didnt work. Id rather have other people figure that out." Three-pointers from Patty Mills and Green tied the game at 32-32 heading into the second, and Ginobili led the way in a one-sided second quarter with nine points on 4-of-4 shooting. Ginobilis layup and 3-pointer had the hosts ahead by as many as 13 late in the half before Westbrook beat the buzzer with a deep make to pull Oklahoma City within 65-55.
